Leicester are still
living the dream of reaching a FA Cup final, with the quarter finals
now secured after a controlled win v. Sheffield United at home this
afternoon

Not that many chances in the first half,
fielding a team that had few surprises with Wes Morgan back and
playing his first game since new years day. Good to see the captain
back in the team and playing well together with Harry Maguire.

Maguire up against his former club for the second time this season,
winning the EFL cup clash away at Bramall Lane earlier in the season.
Chris Wilder also fielded a team, not using his top forwards, one
absent and another placed on the bench, Billy Sharp.

Leicester are more and more possession orientated and keeps the ball
more in the team and that shows up in the stats, with 63 % of the
ball being in the "feets" of Leicester players.

There were no goals after the first half and Wilder's men showed
their strength and abillity to fight, but both Mahrez and Vardy were
a treath all the time against a Sheffield United defence that kept
themselves low in the field, not to give space to a pacy Vardy.

With Iheanacho also in the team, they pace would be problematic for
any defender trying to deal with that. Demarai Gray was also on the
field and his abillity and strength is also pace. Mahrez showed his
qualities and was again showing his best side.

The second half started again with Iborra and Ndidi running things
from the central, and in the end that will give Mahrez a cance to
shine, which he did when he found Jamie Vardy who showed great skill
with a well placed header going in bow over the Sheffield United
goalkeeper.

Leicester and Vardy scored a 2nd goal but correctly the goal was
disallowed when Mahrez who again had the assist had his arm in
offside, but again a lovely goal and a fine header from "the wizzard"
down to Vardy who just put the ball to rest in the net.

Strangely Puel decides to take off first Vardy and then Manrez, and
taking away every fear factor in the City team, those two, together
with Harry Maguire and Kasper Schmeichel who made a vital save in
the 2nd half to keep City in the lead are outstanding today.

Ndidi and Iborra both are also having a great game. Chilwell is
lively going forward, but defensively he is a bit shaky and does a
number of disturbing decissions that could have cost City, but this
all went as well at it could, winning 1-0 and reaching the quarter
finals.

Positives:
Vardy again scoring a vital goal, the winner
Morgan and Mahrez back in the team
Iheanacho getting a game, but not showing too much
Leicester with 63 % possession shows full domination
Mahrez showing that he is 100 % committed in his job to get great
results for Leicester City
Great to win again after three games without a win in the Premier
League
No cards, no injuries

Negatives:
Puel taking off Mahrez and Vardy, no need to take those two off,
strange way to show how much they are worth for the team
A bit shaky in defence at times, letting Sheffield United into the
game which could have been brutal
